Special Education Directors,

The ADE/ESS Professional Learning and Sustainability unit is pleased to announce two “grow your own” opportunities for educators in Arizona public schools.

  • The General Education Teacher to Special Education Teacher (GETSET) program provides tuition reimbursement to certified general education teachers who want to pursue a career change to become certified in an area of special education. 
     
  • The Special Education Teacher Tuition Assistance (SETTA) program provides tuition reimbursement to paraprofessionals and educational interpreters that leads to special education teaching certification.

 

Certifications that satisfy the application requirements:

  1. Early Childhood Special Education, Birth–Grade 3/Age 8
  2. Mild/Moderate Disabilities, K–12
  3. Moderate/Severe Disabilities, K–12
  4. Visually Impaired Special Education, Birth–Grade 12
  5. Hearing Impaired Special Education, Birth–Grade 12

 

Application materials:

  • SETTA Application
  • GETSET Applicaton

 

PEAs have an opportunity to submit an application for one candidate per program. Applications earning the highest scores in the evaluation process will be approved until the funding that is set aside for the program is depleted. Applications must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 24, 2023.

Please note:

  • Applicant must have been employed by the PEA for two full school years as of June 30, 2023.
  • Applicant must agree to two full years of teaching in a special education capacity at the PEA once special education certification is achieved.
  • Educational interpreters are eligible to apply for the SETTA program.
  • GETSET and SETTA are tuition reimbursement programs. Potential expenses are pre-approved, and reimbursement is provided after each semester is completed and program requirements are met.
